Questions from West Heath
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in West Heath?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Heath is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in West Heath?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in West Heath
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Work in a small place like West Heath is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant around West Heath
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What affects the quote in West Heath
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like West Heath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What we are called out for in West Heath
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Schools such as The Priory Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
